Spirit Beast ideas

So far spirit beasts are categorized as being ferocity pets, although there are 3 spirit beasts that fit this category (Gondria, Skoll, and Loque), there are 2 others that don't (Arcturis and Ghostcrawler [cata]). Now not all of us would like these to be ferocity pets an could possibly see them being better placed somewhere else. I would have it so these "natural" forms of the spirit beasts be a secondary spec (Note: only spirit bear and crab would have this) so that they can be useful for tanking, pvp, soloing, etc.
OR
They could be spirit beasts that are tenacity instead of ferocity. IMO it would make more sense.

For those who dont want to read the above
-The spirit bear and crab (cata) should either have a secondary talent tree for the tenacity pets that they derive from.
OR
-The spirit bear and crab (cata) should have their talent trees be tenacity instead of the current ferocity spec

Things that can benefit from this are
-Spirit Beasts that survive better for soloing and last resort tanking
-Allowing for pet to function more like a tank for pvp, greatly increasing defensive tactics for BM hunters that wish to have a tanking pet
- ^having a mini prot pally as a pet^
*Im kidding on that last point but in all honesty that extra healing can be a life saver for the pet or the hunter, which makes pvp more fun instead of getting rolfpwnd by every class (referring to the current state at lvl 80 mind you)

On a side note i really hope blizzard makes crabs have a thorns buff on them like the ones on Azuremist Isle I found whilst playing on my female draenei (im all for the horde but female draenei... lets just say baby got back and front).

Speaking of which I wonder where Lolotea went :P
Only problem I have with spirit beasts is that their voices sometimes jump from 1 animal type to another. My Gondria makes a lot of wolf noises. On a side note, I'd really like it if they replaced the rare ghostpaw wolf (forget the name) in Ashenvales skin with that of a purple ghost wolf. With that, add a blue haze to the upcoming spirit beast Karoma.
Dear Blizzard,

Please realign the talent tree's for spirit beast, such as every other beast in the game as we know it.

Crab, Bear - Tenacity
Wolf,Cat - Ferocity
Owl - Cunning

This is my only beef with spirit beasts and the way they are designed.

The bear and the crab need the tank ability's like thunderstomp and you can take away whatever exotic ability to you or simply make new ones with the same effects

Normally i would Disagree with you on this

But in MoP, hunters will be able to choose their pet's trees. So this gives your suggestion no purpose in the end.
